Weare Hotel La Paz

Location to the centre of Puerto de la Cruz is about 15mins away. Either take the 240 steps or walk down the decline road but remember you need to come back up.

The hotel itself is 3 star. It was never that busy and seems popular for day visits using the Spa by Spanish locals. Due to this lunchtime seems the busiest part of the day in the restaurant.

Food and drink is what you would expect. We went with the all-inclusive option. 2 drinks per person. They had various themed evenings such as Chinese and Spanish.

There is a small car park but it can only be used for disabled parking.

The rooms are dated and there are a few tiles missing on the pool but it's not the end of the world.

Yes its not got air-con which I knew about so we left the balcony doors open. The only problem was the busy road that runs behind the hotel. We had a corner room facing the front but with it being the main road from 06:00hrs in the morning the traffic wakes you up. Street cleaners, coaches, mopeds with no exhausts, air brakes on HGV's.

Its a no smoking/vaping hotel which I knew about. There are two smoking areas One near the bar and the other outside in the carpark. Its 100€ fine if caught smoking.

No brew facilities or kettles in the room. But there is a water dispenser which does both hot and cold water on each floor. We asked for a kettle and they dropped one off for us. There is a small fridge in the room.

Overall I got the hotel really cheap so I can't complain. Never been to Puerto del la Cruz before and didnt realise how cloudy it was compared to the South of the Island. Luckily we had a hire to go and chase the sun.

This hotel is no more than 2 or 3 star, the picture give an impression that the sea is close but it is 30 min walk away, the view from the room is disgusting, it’s of the car park, the reception and cleaning staff are nice but the staff in the restaurant are rude and don’t like the English, we went half board and was rudely told that we couldn’t have coke with our dinner only water, they took away our drink, restaurant staff very rude, the only beach is black and horrible, the bathroom door was damaged from water and things were falling off the wall, no air con and very uncomfortable at night, you get what you pay for, if you want a bit more luxury don’t go to this hotel, actually don’t go to North Tenerife, good is very bland and never warm, we ended up eating out every night from day 2, not good at all. We won’t be coming back.

Lovely hotel. Staff were really helpful. Cleaning staff were really efficient. A comfortable place to stay. I felt safe as a solo traveller. Rooms have a large glass bottle that you fill up from the water dispenser on each floor. I took my own kettle. Close to the town down the agatha Christie steps. Long way back up of to are not very fit. Nice pool easy access to sun beds. Really relaxing. Great views of the teide volcano.
